About JDSU Fiber Characterization Service

2

JDSU’s Fiber Characterization Service verifies the integrity and capacity of yourfiber plant through the measurement of key fundamental properties, such asattenuation, reflectance, and dispersion. Comprehensive testing, using JDSU'sindustry-leading optical test equipment, is performed by expert technicalengineers and administered by a dedicated project manager. Whether you areincreasing the speed or density of traffic on your existing network or you wish toverify the quality of a fiber installation prior to deployment, the informationprovided in our comprehensive report will allow you to properly plan for currentand future network deployments.

Fiber characterization quantifies your fiber plant's ability to handle high data rateand Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) applications with a wide array of measurements and services, including OIL, ORL, OTDR traces, CD, and PMD.Analysis of the results eliminates costly troubleshooting and finger pointingduring the latter stages of network installation.Fiber characterization is required toensure that poor ORL, CD, and PMD results do not impair or prevent certain typesof traffic, such as 10G and DWDM. The test results provide baseline fiber charac-teristics, enabling improved network planning, increased network reliability,reduced service interruptions, and more effective future maintenance.

We bring our own specially trained experts to your site to help qualify your opticalnetwork. Dedicated project managers work with you to develop the solution,managing all phases of the project and ensuring customer satisfaction.

Experienced and certified test technicians and test engineers perform testing on your network and on your schedule to ensure accurate results. A senior testengineer provides a comprehensive final report with detailed test results, analysis,and recommendations.

JDSU continuously strives towards the gold standard, providing a completepackage of fiber characterization equipment, services, and certifications. TrustJDSU to prepare you for FTTH, triple-play applications, and high data rates withour Fiber Characterization Service provided by our own experienced staff.



Chromatic Dispersion (CD)CD measurements define the amount of general dispersion (pulse spreading)encountered on the fiber link. CD results also indicate the type of fiber used(through the analysis of zero dispersion wavelength characteristics). Sincetransmission equipment can compensate for the measured amount of CD on thefiber, CD results are important to transmission systems engineers and installers.

Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD)

PMD measurements define the polarization-related dispersion effectsexperienced on a fiber. Temperature variations, the condition of the installedfiber, and inherent fiber geometry affect these results. Since you cannotcompensate for PMD effects, PMD results are typically of most concern to usersas a method of determining a fiber’s suitability for WDM applications.

Customers

ProvidersProviders use JDSU Fiber Characterization Services to ensure the quality of fiberoptic rings recently turned-up or transitioned to high data-rates. Without fibercharacterization, the provider is gambling on the fiber, not knowing whether thecharacteristics of the fiber meet the thresholds necessary for OC-192 or DWDM.Without JDSU services, the provider has to rely upon the installer or company field technicians to provide adequate information to the network planners.Whilethe provider’s technicians may be able to perform the testing, our reportingpractices are second to none in the industry.

Network Equipment ManufacturersThe customers of Network Equipment Manufacturers (NEM) often rely upon theNEM to provide fiber characterization to ensure the quality of the fiber network.Without fiber characterization, the NEM could spend costly days of installationtime troubleshooting when the fiber is not suitable for use at high-data rates.Without JDSU services, the NEM has to use the valuable time of the NEM’s fieldengineers to perform fiber characterization. JDSU can help the NEM can assurethe customer a trusted third-party has verified the quality of the fiber networkand its ability to handle the network equipment.

ContractorsContractors turning-up fiber networks or adding services or network com-ponents to existing networks for the government or the private sector can benefitfrom using JDSU Fiber Characterization Services to complete their offering. By performing fiber characterization, we help contractors assure customers of thequality of work and help meet deadlines by reducing installation time.
